JULY 4th!

Hey!  We will be CLOSED on July 4th, but we have plenty of reading material for your picnic or barbecue!

Or you can read politics and history!  TIME has its 10th Annual History Issue, asking Does It Still Matter? (The Constitution in constant crisis since 1787).  UTNE asks, Patriot Acts, What does it mean to love your country?

Paris Review is always a winner with people who come in to Bulldog, and this issue has several fun writers. 

Once a wild young man of science fiction, now a venerable figure who is openly scatological, Samuel R Delany is interviewed on the Art of Fiction along with William Gibson.  Jonathan Lethem writes a short story, and there is poetry too.  I'm hoping that there will still be a copy left when I get back from the 4th!

Graduation? Summer? A little time to read something substantial?

Summer comes around, and many places come out with lists of "Summer Reading",  easy stuff to read at the beach.  Or you can be like me and some friends of mine, summer is when you have time to sink your teeth into something more demanding.  I rather like Latin or Greek authors for the summer or geology  (don't tell!  but sometimes I have a little trouble keeping up with magazines that zip by ephemerally and not on a geologic time scale.)

So here are a few recent arrivals in the literary / ideas section.  Granta does the "F" word*, Prairie Schooner, A Public Space, Chicago Review, Raritan (Conservatism and Counterrevolution, I F Stone an Enemy of the State), and then the standby, McSweeney's Believer.  Paris Review should be in very soon.

 

* the "F" word, F is for feminism.

McSweeneys Quarterly Concern #37

Wholphin also arrived today.  Believer came in a few days ago.  We still have one or two McSweeneys #36, the infamous Head.

And Sleek returned after a hiatus.
